Stop End RVR
Hi everybody,

let's say one has to take off from a runway equipped with runway edge and center line lights and the reported RVRs are as follow:
A 150m, B 150m, C 50m
Somebody says it's possible to disregard point C provided I can demonstrate through performance calculation that in case of RTO the airplane can come to a complete stop well before the end of the runway (?!?)
As far as I know, according to appendix 1 to Eu-ops 1.430, when the RVR is below 200m ALL the RVR readings (A+B+C) must be available and above the applicable take off minima. Only exception for point A for which pilot assessment is allowed, therefore point C has to be taken always into account.

Is the above interpretation correct or do I miss anything?
